<p>The latest incarnation of the hugely popular BitBot is the new BitBot PRO, with on-board processor providing intelligent and accurate motor control, with sensor resolution of over 100 pulses per centimetre. Driving straight has never been so easy.
We've also taken the opportunity to upgrade and improve many other features; including the sounder, the line follower sensors and even the power supply circuit - as well as adding several extra mounting holes for you to fix your own creations. </p><p>Finally, there is an optional InfraRed receiver to enable really easy and responsive remote control using the 4tronix InfraRed remote controller (optional extra) - note that the remote control is not paired to any particular BitBot PRO, so all nearby units in line of sight will receive the same commands.
Of course, we have also updated the Makecode Extension to support all the new features:
</p><p>
New blocks for accurate movements of the wheels; motion in a straight line by a selected distance, spinning a determined angle and even moving in an arc of a user-define radius and angle. You can also read back the distance and angle moved
</p><p>New blocks for both Digital and Analog line sensors, as well as enabling user or automatic adjustment of threshhold values. Finally a merge of all the line sensors to give a single value estimating where the line is, from -100 for on the far left, through 0 in the centre to +100 on the far right
</p><p>New blocks for the sounder to support changing volume, pitch and duration. Note also that the sounder can now use the Makecode Music blocks as well
</p><p>New blocks for the InfraRed receiver: event driven blocks that are run when specific keys are pressed, as well as being able to test the last key pressed</p>
